I'm thinking about leaving it as singles & using it as the pattern weft (100/2 silk warp & ground weft), for a shawl. #finethreads

A doubled strip of handwoven fabric. The warp is 20/2 silk; the weft is a combination of strips of washed dupioni silk and silk sari waste. Woven at 8 epi/ppi on a 4-shaft Baby Wolf in 2013.

OK hivemind, here's a question: How fine is "fine" to *you* when thinking about warp and weft? I'm curious--I've been #weaving for a long time, so my idea of "fine" may be influenced by skill & experience. The pic isn't "fine" but it's pretty. Deets in the alt-text. Thanks! #fiberarts #finethreads

A section of navy blue 20/2 cotton warp brought forward on the wood shuttle race of the loom, next to multi-colored Texsolv heddles.

Time to start threading 608 heddles. 😝 Have I mentioned that I hate Texsolv heddles? The warp is 20/2 cotton. #finethreads #weaving #fiberarts #fibrearts #loomdressing #artistlife

Composition of navy blue fabric with white twill and burgundy plainweave warp stripes, with white weft.

Instead of doing all the stuff (mostly cleaning) I should be doing on Monday, I designed a new piece of fabric to use up more 20/2 cotton and pulled the yarns. I'll start beaming tomorrow. #weaving #fiberarts #finethreads #artistlife

A pair of scissors laying on a partially cut off warp.

Woohoo! Champagne Friday. 🍾🥂 The warp is off the loom & the samples are in the washing machine for wet-finishing. #finethreads #complexweavers #champagnefriday #fiberarts #fibrearts #FTSG #FOFriday #weaving

A loom with a fine undyed warp of 20/2 cotton, showing a blue and ecru fabric with large flowers and diamonds.

Same draft, same liftplan, but I've switched to a blue 10/2 cotton for both ground and pattern wefts. I should end up with about 1 1/2 yds of finished fabric for a summer top. #weaving #fiberarts #warpend #slowclothes #finethreads #complexweavers

Green fabric with white flowers and diamonds in diamonds on a loom. This is the reverse side of the fabric.

Drawdown of half-double design of blue flower surrounded by diamonds of different sizes on white background. Drawdown by Henrich Woolhever, a Pennsylvania weaver, in 1821.

A good day is #weaving 500 picks of alternating undyed 20/2 cotton and dark green 2/18 wool. The structure is "half-double"; the draft is from a drawdown by Henrich Woolhever (1821). #fiberart #fibreart #finethreads #FTSG #complexweavers #historicweaving

Warp of natural 20/2 cotton crossed by wefts of, from bottom up, burgundy sewing thread; natural 20/2 cotton in plainweave; and royal blue 10/2 and natural 20/2 cotton in a half-double design by Henrich Woolhever (1821).

Adjusting the loom, warp, and fly shuttles takes a fair amount of time and futzing around. Additional discovery: I'm out of shape for the fly shuttle. 😅 1 sleying error to fix. Tomorrow. 🌞#weaving #fiberart #fibreart #artistlife #finethreads #complexweavers #FTSG #finethreadstudygroup

When #weaving gets tiny. The cloth in the foreground is a 24-shaft sample of a half-double design by Heinrich Woolhever (1821), woven in 8/2 & 8/4 cottons. On screen is the drawdown for the same draft, but in 20/2 & 10/2 cottons. #fiberart #fibreart #finethreads #historicalweaving
